Pearl Stone Features and Benefits

The pearl occurs in oysters and mussels living in the seas of warm and temperate regions. The average period of formation is 10 years. However, cultured pearls have been cultivated for a long time. Cultured pearls take 3 to 7 years to form. Pearl formation begins when sand or other foreign matter enters the oyster shell. Oysters coat this substance with a substance called nacre. This substance contains 92% calcium carbonate. If the foreign substance settles in the meat completely, if it cannot settle in a spherical shape, a hemispherical pearl is formed. In cultured pearls, foreign matter is artificially introduced into the oyster (like a bead or a piece of fleshy tissue). In this way, the oyster is stimulated.

Cultured pearls are obtained from live oysters (Akoya or south sea pearls) or mussels (freshwater pearls). Today, cultured pearl cultivation is quite common. Cultured pearl does not mean fake or imitation pearl. Cultured pearls are pearls that are artificially stimulated but developed in their natural environment. Only 10% of the pearls grown in the 7-year period are of high quality and can be used in jewelry. The brightness, size, and scarcity, and symmetry of the spots on it play a very important role in determining the quality of the pearl. The clearer the pearl’s shine, the higher its value.

The age of the oyster is also important in determining the value of the pearl. The older the oyster, the bigger the pearl. The most commonly obtained colors in pearls are pink, cream and white. Although rare, black pearls can be grown, but since a real black pearl is very valuable and expensive, it has been imitated a lot. A dark shiny black pearl, very rare and quite expensive.
